Sane C++ Libraries
Sane C++ Libraries is a set of C++ platform abstraction libraries for macOS, Windows and Linux.
✅ Fast compile times
✅ Bloat free
✅ Simple readable code
✅ Easy to integrate
⛔️ No C++ Standard Library / Exceptions / RTTI
⛔️ No third party dependencies (prefer OS API)
Visit the documentation website for more information.
Libraries
Library | Description |
---|---|
Algorithms | 🟥 Placeholder library where templated algorithms will be placed |
Async | 🟨 Async I/O (files, sockets, timers, processes, fs events, threads wake-up) |
Build | 🟨 Minimal build system where builds are described in C++ |
Containers | 🟨 Generic containers (SC::Vector, SC::SmallVector, SC::Array etc.) |
File | 🟩 Synchronous Disk File I/O |
File System | 🟩 File System operations { exists, copy, delete } for { files and directories } |
File System Iterator | 🟩 Enumerates files and directories inside a given path |
File System Watcher | 🟩 Notifications {add, remove, rename, modified} for files and directories |
Foundation | 🟩 Primitive types, asserts, limits, Function, Span, Result, Tagged Union |
Hashing | 🟩 Compute MD5 , SHA1 or SHA256 hashes for a stream of bytes |
Http | 🟥 HTTP parser, client and server |
Plugin | 🟨 Minimal dependency based plugin system with hot-reload |
Process | 🟩 Create child processes and chain them (also usable with Async library) |
Reflection | 🟩 Describe C++ types at compile time for serialization |
Serialization Binary | 🟨 Serialize to and from a binary format using Reflection |
Serialization Text | 🟨 Serialize to / from text formats (JSON) using Reflection |
Socket | 🟨 Synchronous socket networking and DNS lookup |
Strings | 🟩 String formatting / conversion / manipulation (ASCII / UTF8 / UTF16) |
Testing | 🟨 Simple testing framework used by all of the other libraries |
Threading | 🟥 Atomic, thread, thread pool, mutex, condition variable |
Time | 🟨 Time handling (relative, absolute, high resolution) |
Each library is color-coded to signal its status:
- 🟥 Draft (incomplete, work in progress, proof of concept, works on basic case)
- 🟨 MVP (minimum set of features have been implemented)
- 🟩 Usable (a reasonable set of features has been implemented to make library useful)
- 🟦 Complete (all planned features have been implemented)
C Bindings
Some Libraries have C bindings
Binding | Description |
---|---|
sc_hashing | Bindings for the Hashing Library |
Building
Libraries can be used as is, adding a single file to your project and without needing any build system.
See Building (user) to just use the library
Shortly:
- Add Bindings/cpp/SC.cpp to your build system of choice
- Define
SC_COMPILER_ENABLE_STD_CPP=1
if you plan to use the Standard C++ library - Include any public header (
Libraries/[Library]/*.h
)
Windows
- Nothing else to link (in addition to default libs)
macOS / iOS
- Link
CoreFoundation.framework
- Link
CoreServices.framework
Linux
- Link
libdl
(-ldl
) - Link
libpthread
(-lpthread
)
Examples
SCExample showcases integration of Sane C++ Libraries together with Dear ImGui and sokol libraries (see Examples page).

Tests
Tests are built with the self-hosted SC::Build project generator, describing the builds in C++.
Check Building (contributor) to run the tests.
